Following India's decision to revoke Article 370 and stripping special status from Indian occupied Kashmir (IoK), mysterious 'Maha Bharat' posters have appeared overnight in different areas of Islamabad.

The poster shows a statement of Indian party Shiv Sena member Sanjay Raut. Addressing the Parliament on Monday after the Indian government had moved a bill to revoke Article 370, Raut said, "Aaj Jammu & Kashmir liya hai. Kal Balochistan, PoK lenge. [Today we took Jammu & Kashmir, tomorrow we will take Balochistan and Azad Jammu & Kashmir]". "Mujhe vishwaas hai desh ke PM akhand Hindustan ka sapna poora karenge," he added.

Posters bearing Raut's statement with the slogan 'MAHA BHARAT A step Forward', have been been sighted across Islamabad on Tuesday.
